Talking about cattle raising and j an<
diversified farming we cannot help, suj
quoting an editorial from The Her- an
ail and News of nearly ten years
ago. We have said several times re
cently that we were pleased to see
that the people were beginning to do j yS
what we begged them and advised jfs
them to do years ago.

subject of stock raising in Soutn j u8

for less, than cost to pay for them. 1 an

age in cotton in order to secure bet-;
ter prices but we should do it for the ^

stock raising and the growing of corn ^ui
and hay with which to feed the stock. anc
"Another matter that should have the!

A community nurse is no doubt a . g p
good thing. But it seems to us tha:j ^ ,
a suggestion made by Mayor Wright;
the other day in private conversation ; 0
would be the proper to handle; t f
the charity operations of a communi- t
ty like this. Instead of having a doz-1 ^an(
en or more organizations all doing | ^
' more or less of charity work in the j anY
community to have a central com-1 t,per
mittee or board of charities that1 ...
.... _ . . . 1 v\ lin
would takp sufficient interest in the! e
work and through which organization ' ?ueg
all the charity of the community \ ? ^
might be dispensed. Let these other I *
organizations exist if they desire, but' ' ^
whatever charity fund they desired to j
board and the money and help be
given by them.
If part of their work would be the
employment of a nurse, well and good,
but all cases that were deserving
could be reported to the board and
all applications for.-help be .made^to,,
them, and whatever any one or mare
individuals desired to give to
le^^g^throug^thi^board^^f^n
re could be some system in the
k and some gaod could be accom

COMUMTY MEETING FOB
A COJWl'MTY M'RSt
About two dozen good and earnest;
women, an<l about a half dozen men,'
met in the court house Wednesday j
afternoon in response to a call fo: .
a community meeting to consider the!
question of continuing a community j
nurse-for this community. Dr. Crom-j
j er SKVij III;"' peuyit: uu noi i cau mc
' j papers and, therefore, 110 one knew!
) I that the meeting wa-s 'to be held, and
Mi'or thai reason there were so fe\*
;] present. If that be true, then wh^
)ja newspaper. But we are inclined;
j to think that the doctor is mistaken,
' or W" miunderstoood him. The trou
" ble is the people real, and the people
J j forget, except those things they want!
. I f/? l'ftmuniliar vin.fi f!in?.i tlTfti
the things that they think will beneiU,
them directly and immediately.
Anyhow these two and half dozen'
j met and they talked and then they!
appointed a committee to have the:
whole tiling in charge. Now, the;
trouble may be that this committee'
may forget that it was appointed and
forgot to act. We hope not.
Mrs. J. N. MeCaughrin as president
of the Bachelor Maius presided at the
meeting, and she a gave a plain
statement of the work during the
#ast eighteen months. But the wo
men were tired carrying the load,
and it is not right that a few faith
ful women should carry it. More of

this meeting, and they should take
more interest in it. They should
remember that this is an age whrn
everything is to be regulated, and all
the germs are to be killed, and the
f children are to be inspected for de
^ fects and made to grow up right and
^ I proper, and the are' to be taken
j care of, even if it is against the law
^ j for a poor man without a coat to
ask some one to give him a coat, and
if he do-^s so ask he is to occupy cell
No. 1 and rides there in an automo
S bile. That is the law and the law
P must be enforced IvVle are moving
forward, and we are taking care of
- the people who will not or cannot
take care of themselves.
But to the meeting. Mayor Wright
L was called on ""and he spoke of the
: j importance of a community nurse, tint
I j he said he did not know what to of
. I for, because he was not in posaessio/i
j of facts in regard to the operations
! during the past year, or what the ex
i petience of the ladies had been in the
i experiment which had been made.
Then Mrs. McCaugbrin related the
! details of the work. A letter was rea.l
| from Mr. Summer of the Moilohon
i mill in which it was stated the good
| work that the nurse did in his mill
village and he hoped that the worlt
might be continued. j
Mr. J. M. Kinard spoke of the good !
of such work and said that he was j
willing to cooperate and he felt that J
the city board of health would do
what it could to help the work. Dr.
J. P. Kinard thought maybe there
j might be somp way to have the nurse
' ;n some manner a representative of
the board of health. He said if the
-school were in position it would be
glad to have a department which
could employ such a person. Mr.
'McSwain said that the school board
had no funds, but that he would glad
ly. take back to the school board any
suggestion that might be made.
Dr. Cromer then made a most ex
cellent talk on what the State and
the Christian people of this Christian
State were not doing to take care of

houses and reformatories. And be
told some very healthy truths which
it would be well if more people could
have heard.
Then there was talk of spread of
disease by the washerwomen, and the
need of an inspector along that line.
The outcome of the meeting was the
{ appointment of a committee of five
I to take the whole matter in charge
j and do what to them may seem best
j to be done. That committee is: John
I M. Kinard, chairman; Geo. M. Sum
mer, Mrs. L. W. Floyd, Miss Carolyn-.'
Cromer, Mrs. J. N\ >fcCaughrin. They
I are to devise ways ana means ana i
! have charge of th? whole business.'
| and a big job they have.
i' We have named all the men prea
| ent except Editor Wallace and the
writer and we did not make any
speeches. All the rest of them did )
j That is, Mr. 'Wallace had not spoken |
j when we left, as we had to leave
J before the meeting closed.
A nurse Is a good thing and there
j should be two, as Dr. Cromer said, j
one for the white people and one for
the colored people.

Columbia, Jan. 11.?Former Gover
nor Cole L. Blease^ will again lead the
Reform party, in the campaign of
1918, as a candidate l'or governor.
After a thorough consideration o
the resolution adopted" last night b_:
the central committee of the- party,
urging him to take the held, he has
consented, and he so stated tonight.
"I have discussed the proposition
today," said Mr. Biease when asked l
about the matter, "with prominent j
members of our party from different j
parts of til? State, \and as a result or,
the dispatch in the papers this morn-1 ?
ing I have received messages from a i
large number of other members of! ^
our party, who have through that i
sourc,' learned of the action taken j t
by the central committee. While 1 i
do not feel that I would care, indi
vidually, to bear the burden of an- J *
other State campaign, and while I C
feci that we have others that should l
be put forward as leaders, I hav?; ;
| come to the conclusion that it is mv ! ;
duty to obey the dictates of the com
bined judgment of my party, and In
accordance therewith I hereby an
; nounce that I will be a candidate for
governor, on the Reform platform, m
the campaign of 1918.
"The committee that met here was
< mpowered and instructed to take
such action as it believed to be for
the oest interests of the party, and the
members of that committee have as
sured me, not only by their resolution,
| but personally, that they had detei
i mined for the best interests of the
